Though Christmas falls on a Wednesday this year, the league decided to schedule two games for Xmas Day anyway. The two Netflix NFL games will see the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens at the Houston Texans.
The current NFL TV broadcast deal went into effect in the 2022 season. CBS, ESPN/ABC, NBC and FOX all retained their partnerships with the league, but Amazon also joined the party by taking over the “Thursday Night Football” package.
Netflix NFL Games Should Score Excellent Viewership
Netflix remains far-and-away the most popular streaming service in the world. The NFL is America’s most popular professional sports league, so this should be a massive ratings galore for Roger Goodell and company.
There will be competition with the NBA’s slate of Christmas Day games, but don’t forget that the NFL averaged nearly 30 million viewers for their three Xmas games in 2023 (Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles and Ravens at San Francisco 49ers).
The Chiefs-Steelers tilt should be a thriller with Patrick Mahomes facing a familiar foe in Russell Wilson, while the Ravens-Texans contest could carry significant playoff implications.
